How do Git on Linux users launch/read the user-manual?

As a Windows user, when I want to look at the Git user-manual, I tend to `git help git`, which on Git for Windows opens the users default browser. For me, it's at C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/share/doc/git-doc/git.html. I can then browse that directory to find user-manual.html and open it from there (because I know it is there!). How do Git on Linux users launch/read the user-manual? Essentially the user manual isn't accessible from Git, and really it should be. However it's not a formatted as a man page so some other access mechanism is needed, compatible with Linux, and Windows users. It would be nice if it was part of the `git help -g` list. Excuse my ignorance for not knowing how linux users should access this usefully curated doc.
